Artyom Delkin: Football career of the striker

His career, Artem Delkin began in the Dimitrovgrad team "Wings of the Soviets-SOK", which he got after training at the Football Academy named after Yuri Konoplev.

The first steps to big football

In the second division Artyom Delkin spent 4 years - two in the "wings", taking part in 36 meetings and scoring 5 goals, and two more - in Togliatti club "Academy", which teamed up with his former team, which showed a crazy result, scoring 21 goals in 46 games.

The success of the forward did not go unnoticed in the leagues level higher. And in 2009, Artem Delkin received several offers from clubs PFL, of which he chose a contract with Nizhny Novgorod. But in the new club, the striker did not work out - he finished the ending of 2010 in KAMAZ, and moved to the FNL club - Vladimir Torpedo for the 2011/2012 season.

Successes in Samara and Vladimir

"Avtozavodtsy" partially resuscitated the career of the striker due to regular appearance on the field, for which Artem himself thanked the coach 14 goals, including a hat-trick in the last match against "Baltika", thanks to which the team retained residence in the FNL. At the same time, Delkina was invited to the youth national team of Russia, for which he spent 7 games in 2012, scoring two decisive goals in the final match of the Commonwealth Cup.

The rapid growth of the striker this time was noticed in the Premier League. "Wings of the Soviets" from Samara, looking for another forward in the pair Sergei Kornilenko with a view to its possible replacement in the future, they decided that Artyom Delkin would be perfect for this role. His first goal for the Samartsev striker was held in September - within the Cup of Russia, scoring the decisive goal in extra time in a match against the Orenburg "Gasovik".

At the end of the first season, the Russian had not so much practice, but in 2013 the coaches began to trust the young player more often, often releasing him on the field. As a result, having played in 10 matches, Artem scored 3 goals, but acting not on the most comfortable position, he could not prove himself fully, and "Wings" on the results of the championship could not retain a place in the Premier League and descended to the FNL. There, after playing half the season, Delkin decided to change the team, first went to rent in "Tyumen", where he scored 7 points in 13 games, and in 2015 he issued a transfer to the Orenburg "Gasovik".

Care in "Orenburg"

The team, which several years ago did not let Artem take the lead in the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Russia, turned out to be an excellent platform for him to unlock potential. In the 2015/2016 season, Gasovik played in the FNL, Artem Delkin, whose injury at the end of the championship affected his game, showed an excellent result, scoring 16 goals in 29 games, thereby ensuring the Orenburg club with 1 place in the championship and the exit to the Premier League.
